While Ubisoft hasn't bothered to provide an official release date for any of the remaining DLC for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, it seems that an advertisement in the latest issue of Game Informer has taken care of things for the company.
Go grab the issue and start thumbing through the pages, and you'll find the ad. Go ahead, I'll wait. Don't have the issue yet? Well, the ad that appears in the mag can also be seen above, as spotted by Videogamer.
Unless there was some horrible printing error, there's only 2 weeks left to go before gamers can give Freedom Cry a go.
The DLC was first detailed when Ubisoft announced Black Flag's Season Pass, which described the role of Adewale, Edward Kenway's first mate in the DLC. Players will be playing as Adewale throught the duration of Freedom Cry.
"Born a slave, Adewale found freedom as a pirate aboard the Jackdaw as Captain Edward Kenway's second-in-command. Fifteen years later, Adewale has become a trained assassin and finds himself shipwrecked in Saint-Domingue with no weapon nor crew, starting a new adventure of his own."
Trophies for the DLC surfaced late last month, dropping a few hints as to what players would be up to. Feel free to check out the list below, followed by a trailer:
Firepower - Kill 5 guards at once with a blunderbuss
Hidden Trophy
Hidden Trophy
His Full Attention - Freedom Cry - Achieve 100% synchronization
Liberation Day - Free your first slave
Seeds of Independence - Liberate 500 slaves
Players with the Pass can get the DLC for free. An individual price hasn't been released yet.
Black Flag is the first prequel in the Creed franchise, and sees players controlling AC3 protagonist Connor's grandfather, Edward Kenway, a former Royal Navy man for the British crown turned pirating privateer in the blue waters of the Caribbean. The game takes place somewhere around 1713, long before the last time we saw any vestige of the assassins, the American Revolution. The colonial frontier of the new world has traded in for the warm waterfronts of Nassau, Havana, and Kingston, with historical figures such as the infamous pirate Blackbeard, Calico Jack, Charles Vane, and others are set to appear.
Like in the Vita exclusive Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation, Desmond Miles doesn't have a role in Black Flags, having been replaced with an Abstergo researcher.
The game is currently available for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, and PC.
